The COVID-19 pandemic has brought forth numerous educational obstacles but has also created opportunities for progress and innovation. In the aftermath of the pandemic, education is expected to place greater emphasis on technology, and one promising solution in this regard is the utilization of mobile cloud learning technologies. These technologies offer various advantages, including flexibility, customization, and cost-effectiveness, revolutionizing the leaming process. This paper details the creation and advancement of a self-contained mobile learning platform designed for teaching science by integrating mobile cloud learning technology. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of this blended approach, which combines traditional teaching methods with technology. The evaluation encompassed lesson delivery, organization, classroom atmosphere, enrichment, and accessibility. The results demonstrated that the blended approach complemented conventional teaching techniques. The instant feedback provided by the proved beneficial in monitoring students' progress in real-time and intervening promptly when necessary. However, the study highlights the importance of addressing limitations and challenges in implementing this approach to fully maximize its Valuable insights are provided regarding the key factors to consider when designing and implementing blended learning in the contributing to the ongoing discourse surrounding the future of education in a post-COVID world.
